2. Reptiles Magazine Online, May 2014

3. I chose this article because it showed an Albino Rosy Boa which looked different and cool.

4. I liked that this article listed that this snake is a common household snake. They can be purchased for as little as $25. In general, I quality boa will cost a little more though because it has to be bred correctly. Some kinds include the coastal cali and desert phase rosy boas.

5. I learned that Rosy Boas actually have a very long life expectancy. A columnist had a rosy boa that was bred in the 1950's and lived til' 2011! Typically they will live to 30 years or more. Rosy Boas are also very easy to keep as long as you don't have screening at the top of their enclosure because they are notorious for rubbing their snouts.

6. No questions-

8. Care requirements are quite simple for the Rosy. Make sure it has a proper enclosure like a terrarium since they are small, pinkies for feeding, no lighting and water when it needs it.
